A Trip in Churchill’s Footsteps
I value Winston Churchill highly and recognise him as an important figure for us to admire from the hardships of WWII. He was born for his time, and he knew it from his childhood
Hans Christian Andersen’s Museum in Odense, Denmark
If you were unaware of Hans Christian Andersen's life and work you would not be much wiser after visiting his museum
Hidden WWII History
I would have loved to have heard the story of this heroic personnel. All my life the WWII have had my interest. Recently I became conscious that the architecture is unique. The founders thought of healing via the beauty of architecture and the importance of fresh air and sunshine combined with the professionals' good care.
Robert Louis Stevenson and Monterey, California
In a fantasy journey back to Monterey, I imagine that the Scotch author was inspired to write his adventure tale, The Treasure Island. So much of the scenery from the time Stevenson spent there seem to be intact today and could easily make a background for the beloved story. A poster close to the place he stayed for four months […]
Jelling, Home of the Kings
I recommend a free museum and areas open all year round outside, showing the testimonies of the Danish Viking kings from more than thousands of years ago. My husband Henry has an in-depth story about the site. After a long cold spring, we finally had a warm day with a clear blue sky. People gathered for lunch, ice cream or […]

At one spot lies the remains of German fugitives and executed German soldiers who deserted the war while in Denmark. Then you have several Danish resistance fighters slain by the occupiers or dead in the concentration camps. At their side are Danish Police officers […]
A Man Gave His Life for Others
Your inner compass or conscience tells you if you would risk your life for others or not

Even if we fail or perish, our efforts must lead to some result. When so many seeds are sown, some plants must come up. Posterity will blame those who remain idle in a time like this. I do not wish to incur in that blame.

A New Way of Family Gathering
A memory of my father's life growing up in the Great Depression and WWII.
A mixture of new and old photos of the same locations in Copenhagen.
The Christ Church in Copenhagen
I knew the name of this Baptist church but never realized until recently that my great grandparents on my father’s side grew up in that church’s fellowship. When you dig into your family history and visit the places, they lived their lives become alive. Walking in their footsteps, we met the young pastor at the church. He let us […]
